!lrceive in what manner it is at all affected
Kv aor of the statutes referred to. The only
lint in which Thelluson’a case differs from a
% which would come precisely under the terms
f the law as we have above stated it, is in this,
Lt the estates are vested in trustees who are
lirected to accumulate the profits until the ex
-iration of the lives upon which the Executory
Lvise is to vest—and then dispose of them as
•rovulcd for. A similar direction as to the ac
cumulation of the profits cannot now, owing to
!he Stat. 39 & 40 Geo. 3, be made in England,
for a longer period than 21 years after thedeath
the cantor; while in such a case as Thellu
" »t it is estimated that 70 years will elapse be
fore the devise will vest in possession. This
mtute, however, would not operate to prevent
* executory devise which was not to vest till
a|,er a life or lives in being, 21 years and 9
months, where the intermediate profits were not
greeted to accumulate. This statute, as before
remarked,has not been re-enacted in Virginia, and
not only would such a devise without, but one
jril/i a direction as to the accumulation of the
rolits, be there valid. 1 had intended making
' me remarks on the attempt which has been
made in Parliament to alter the dispositions of
Thelluson’* will; but this communication is al
ready too long and technical to interest your ge

Mr. Snowden:—l have read in a late number
of the Gazette (a borrowed one) an editorial ar
ticle. which denounces, in no measured terms,
Newspaper borrowers, or common pests, as you
* pleased to term them; and after giving them
fiuite a sharp rebuke for their unblushing pestera
lion of your subscribers, you proceed to say—
“ vet perhaps subscribe for papers elsewhere;—
such men are not good citizens or just men.
Your humble corre>pondeiit subscribes for a pa
per elsewhere, and does not at present subscribe
to the Gazette, yet borrows and reads it nearly
eveiv day, and of course falls within the range
of your denouncement. The state of the case
is this: I read my neighbor’s paper, and my
neighbor reads my paper. They are separately
»>ur own property: and, without designing any
disrespect whatever to the ability or merits of
the Gazette, I am free to say, as my firm belief,
mV frii-tul h.is no rause to comnlain: and belore
1 proceed any further, I will ask you, is not tins
precisely your own course with every exchange
paper received at your office? \\ hy then de
nounce others for what you daily practise your
sell? Your occupation does not change the right
nr the piinciple; and, so far as I am implicated,
I can see no injustice about it.
1 have, first to last, heard much said about the
influence and dictation of the press; and-1 mete
out to you full measure for your industry, inde
pendence, and thriving abilities; yet l hope to be
excused—for such doctrine 1 do not entertain.—
I now speak in reference to the press generally.
Nevertheless, as rapid channels of current and
other useful information of the day, they are va
luable; and, when conducted with talents and in
dustry, thev are much more so. Yet, with all
this, much depends upon the support and patrou
age of a generous public. But iu all matters of
this sort, 1 claim the right to be as free as the
air we breathe to jodge for myself.
As to •» good citizens,” there are so many
pre requisite (omission and-commission) in order
to constitute the term “ good,” that l will dis
pense with the enumeration, lest I might tire you,
tor whom l entertain no other feeling but fiiend
ship. But to the matter which 1 allude to, 1 do
think you have been ungenerous
7 BERNARD.
T“ Bernard,” though a constant “ borrower,”
is welcome to a place in our columns, if it were
only for the novelty of the thing; for we suppose
that it is about the first time that any one ever
undertook seriously to defend such a practice.—
If any man can delude himself, by such argu
ments as those used above, into a belief that he
is right in refusing to encourage an establishment
at home, which requires the outlay of hundreds
of dollars weekly and thousands yearly—which
supports the honest and indus'rious in its seve
i.a-_J_.nil whii-h even “ Ber
nard*’ is kind enough to say, »® conducted with
‘•industry &c. *c,” and to spend his money
upon those who bring him the news front abroad,
and which is used abroad when occasioo re
quires, to the injury of the community in
which he lives, he is at perfect liberty to do
•o. The newspaper exchange that u:e carry
on, as a part of our business, for which an ex
press law has been made,—-and which is done
for the benefit of the people throughout the land,
—is a different thing from newspaper borrowing,
as must be evident. It is different from
the newspaper exchange business conducted by
“ Bernard,” which, if carried into practice ge
nerally, would leave the smaller towns and ci
ties without any presess “ to speak for them be
fore the world.” He hope however, before long,
to have “ Bernard” down on our list, and then
ht, too, will join with us in condemning the
newspaper borrowers, j _

NINE HUNDRED ACRES, or
•bout two-thirds o( that fertile and well known
farm called WEST GROVE, the property
^^^of the heirs of the late Col. A. f. Smith. Of 1
this land, three hundred and fifty acres were redeem
ed from the rfver, by a dike constructed of earth and
gravel drawn from 'lie hills. About-* third of this l>u
been cleared and put in cultivation. *1 he soil i* a ve
getable mould, five or six feet indeplh - of course easy I
of cultivation, and not to be surpassed in fertility. St j
is thought to t>e well adapted to the growth of tobacco
of tbe finest sort—this, however, would be worth the
consideration of planters. Could it be rented to a to- ,
bacco grower, tbe owner would erect such houses as .
might he deemed necessary for the business. The i
other portion of the land lias been ditched and fenced
with great cafe and expense, and has meadows of ve
ry considerable extent, well taken with timothy No ;
land if belter'adapted to the production of grass than
this Farm. 1
The whole nine hundred acres will be rented or sold
altogether, or divided into aeveral Karma to suit pur
chasers nr tenants. If I >ng leases could be effected, j
very advantageous terms might be obtained. The
Farm has aeveral substantial houses on it now, and (
others would be built if it could be made an object. |
